Bacterial bloodstream infection in critically ill patients with COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Therapeutic advances in infectious disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), have a high risk of developing bloodstream infections (BSIs). However, the characteristics of and risk factors for BSIs in these patients remain unclear. Objective: We aimed to identify prevalent causative pathogens of BSI and related factors in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Design: This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study. Methods: We analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 201 ICU patients with COVID-19. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with BSI occurrence. Furthermore, we identified the primary causative pathogens of BSIs. The study outcomes were death or ICU discharge. Results: Among the 201 included patients, 43 (21.4%) patients developed BSI. The mortality rate was non-significantly higher in the BSI group than in the BSI group (65.1% Conclusion: Elucidating the risk factors for and common pathogens of BSI can inform prompt management and prevention of BSIs.
